"Well, it is not the way of the Spirit to listen to the Pope unless he follows the synodal way. Since I follow the synodal way to further synodality in the spirit, I follow what the Pope, were he to live in the spirit, would suggest. Therefore, I don't need to listen to the Pope if he tries to fire me because that would prove he is going against the way of the spirit. To be honest with you, the Pope isn't really fond of how independent we German bishops are going. He called us faggots last week, and I didn't like that. But we all know he's just angry that we don't share our drug money with the Vatican Bank. We keep it for our own work and to sponsor our own socialist parties. Again, surely, he would, if he were truly following the synodal way, agree with us."
Why don't they eat once a year, that would be so good for the starving Masses, the environment, and the times. Does anyone expect to go to heaven or are these people only about this life? Wow, once a year for God, what absolute arrogance!
Yep... that's the problem, reality is rapidly approaching satire...
Fasting is its own separate issue as it's reached hilariously low levels within Roman practice at least in the United States. Although I admittedly am also nowhere near the Byzantine abilities at it myself. They seem to retain it quite well.
Sadly, only two holy days of obligation here in Canada as well (apart from Sundays): December 25 and January 1. And in years when these two dates happen to fall on a Sunday, we have zero holy days (apart from Sundays). Minimalism at its best.... or, more appropriately, at its worst.
Cardinal Schuster accepts the challenge. "I can go even more minimal than you," he commented. "How about we cut the Sacraments, cut the religious orders and get rid of Sunday (including Easter Sunday) entirely..."
Pope Francis (God bless him) doesn’t stand for anything if he fails to fire this clown.

If it walks like a heretic and quacks like a heretic……..

Almost like in Australia. We're down to two holy days of obligation each year, Christmas and Assumption.
Not even Good Friday? All Saints Day? or Immaculate Conception?
Just wait till they propose transferring all obligation to eternity alone...

After a more attentive reading, I'm glad we still have Sundays!
Whaaaat?????
This is so ridiculous. It’s gotta be fake story.
